			<h1>Finally, some basic necessities</h1>
			<p>Day 00491: Sunday, 2016 July 10</p>
		</header>
<p>
	Having accomplished their objective with Cyrus yesterday, our mother was much happier on the way back to Gresham.
	It was very clear that their display of anger was purely a ruse designed to coerce Cyrus into forsaking our father.
</p>
<p>
	I suppose that my mobile&apos;s not so bad.
	I will continue working with it over the next while and try to get it functioning again.
	I&apos;m not sure how to get it to stop mysteriously losing the <abbr title="Secure Digital">SD</abbr> card, but maybe with time will come a solution.
</p>
<p>
	Finally having had a chance to stop by the Springfield house (as we stayed the night there las night), I was able to pick up some basic necessities that I was supposed to be able to reacquire on the <a href="/en/weblog/2016/07-July/03.xhtml">third</a> and again on the <a href="/en/weblog/2016/07-July/04.xhtml">fourth</a>, but was never able to because nothing ever goes as planned.
	I took back to Gresham with me my <abbr title="subscriber identity module">SIM</abbr> cards (in case we stay in Gresham long enough that my Cricket plan ends), the <a href="https://professorshyguy.bandcamp.com/merch/32gb-usb-30-drive-fragmentation-version">SHYDRIVE</a>, a blanket, a pillow, and my toothbrush.
</p>
<p>
	Our mother wanted to stay up all night playing a stupid card game with Cyrus, Vanessa, and me.
	I didn&apos;t even want to play at all, but I always feel roped into it.
	If I don&apos;t play, my mother gets frustrated.
	If I play and win, my mother accuses me of playing dirty when I&apos;m only using basic and obvious strategy.
	In other words, when playing with mother, I must always play to lose, which is rather frustrating and unfun.
	I finally had to tell my mother that I needed to go to bed, long after I had wanted to be asleep.
	I have a cold, needed to look up directions for a trip that I dread tomorrow, and I needed to shower tonight.
